In Joey Xia's previous large-scale works, he has focused on exploringthe impact of "solar energy" on the historical  progress of humanity through visual language. Excessive solar energy often brings destruction, such as the "deforestation and grassland restoration" experiments conducted by scientists in the forests of Siberia, using the lighter color of grass to reflect more sunlight back into the universe and slow down the melting of the permafrost.

In this creation, the artist has built a temporary tent on the rooftop of a city building using fabrics, triggering an experiment on the interaction between fabrics and solar energy, which he sees as a miniature "geoengineering" project. Joey Xia has specially designed a "Shanghai Camo" pattern for the tent's Oxford cloth, combining small wild animals, wild vegetables, and adventure equipment commonly found in Shanghai.

In "Dry Run," the artist uses printed Oxford cloth and aluminum foil mesh to highlight the different reactions of the fabrics to sunlight. For example, the aluminum foil mesh allows some light to enter the tent for illumination while reflecting the rest of the sunlight back into the universe, helping the building cool down in the summer. On the "shelter" formed by the fabrics, the artist has embedded prisms in the perforated areas, and when the sunlight enters the perforations at different times of the day, the daylight is deconstructed by

the prisms embedded in the tent, creating a resonance between the rainbow, the audience inside the tent, the air, and the materials, in an attempt to create a multi-sensory immersive experience.
